SAD-IRON OIL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,227, dated October17, 1882.

Application filed February 11, 1882.

-- To all whom it may concern:

of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSad-Iron Oil-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to. make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersor figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part. of

this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in oilstoves which are adapted toheating sad-irons, all of which are further explained by reference tothe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspectiveview. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section. Fig. 3 is a top view. Fig. 4represents a vertical section of the wicktube, burner, and one of thesecondary reservoirs. Fig. 5 is a side view of the primary reservoir.

Like parts are represented by the same reference-letters throughout theseveral views.

A is the combustion-chamber, which is made long and narrow and projectsabove the body or frame B, so that access may be readily had to the rearwall or side, 0, of the combustionchamber. The rear wall, 0, as well asthe front of the combustion-chamber or fire-box, is formed in closeproximity to the series of burners D D, and said rear wall is inclinedforward toward the burner, whereby the rays of heat are brought in moredirect contact therewith, and whereby the proper inclination is given tothe outside of the wall, by which the sadirons are retained against it,as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

It is obvious that the top of the fire-box F is equally well adapted toheating the irons, as Well as for ordinary household purposes, and it isprovided with removable covers G for that purpose.

H is a platform or table, which serves as a convenient receptacle forthe sad-irons or cooking utensils.

H is the primary reservoir.

1 in Fig. 4 is one of the small secondary reservoirs, a series of whichis located beneath the fire-box, there being one for each burner.

J is a distributing-pipe,which is connected with the large reservoir bya single main pipe,

5 K, which is provided with a stop-cock, L.

M M are a series of small tubes which com- (No model.)

municate between the distributing-pipe J and the several small secondaryreservoirs, I, wh ere by all the small reservoirs I may besimultaneously filled from the large reservoir. The flow of oil from thelarge reservoir to the small is governed by the stop-cock L.

N is an opening through which the reservoir is filled.

O is an outlet-pipe through which sediments are drawn from thereservoir.

P is the wick-tube, which is supported above and free from contact withthe reservoir I by arms a a, (shown in Fig. 2,)thereby leaving anintervening open space between said tube and reservoir, through whichthe wick is drawn.

To prevent the escape of oil from that part of the wick which extendsacross the intervening space, a conical-shaped flange, b, is formedaround the opening or wick-passage c, which is adapted to receive allthe drippings of oil, it any, and conduct the same back into thereservoir, or retain them until absorbed by the wick. The upper end ofthe wick-tube P is extended outward and upward at an angle, as shown inFig. 4, forming a flange, d, around and out of contact with theprojecting end of the wick, which flange or projection serves as areceptacle for the drippings of oil which escape from and around thewick, and retains them until they are consumed, whereby a much largerand more brilliant llame is produced, while the waste and annoyance ofthe escaping oil are prevented.

ll aving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The sad-iron oil-stove herein described, consisting in the combinationand arrangement of frame B, platform H, combustion-chamber A, said combustion-cham berextendingabove said frame and platform, and havingvertical front and inclined rear walls, series of burners D D, locatedwithin said combustion-chamber, series of small reservoirs locatedbeneath said burners, and primary reservoir, H, said primary reservoirbeing connected with said secondary or smaller reservoirs by thedistributing-pipes M, L, and K, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

In testimony whereoflaifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
